4 Claims. (01. 138-25) Q As is wellknown, when it is desired to pumpwater from a pump through a pipe to a'tank or other storage receptacle,there is used what is commonly known in the art a water bowl to which 5one endof the pipe or hose is connected. This water bowl is suspendedfrom the faucet or nozzle of the pump and an object of the presentinvention is to provide improvedmeans for suspending the water bowl fromsaid faucet or noz- 0 zle.

Generally such a water bowl has associated therewith in a relativelyloose manner a ring equipped with a splash shield, which ring oftensettles in the bottom of the bowl and becomes frozen therein with theresult that it is diflicult to remove the .same from the bowl.

My invention has as an'object therefor the provision of a hanger whichwill also serve to prevent the splasher ring or shield from settling inthe bottom of the tank and which will at the same time facilitate theraising of. the ring or shield to proper position at the top of thebowl.

The invention together with its objects and advantages will be bestunderstood from a study of the following description taken in connectionwith the accompanying drawings wherein:--

Figure 1 is a side elevational view illustrating the application of theinvention.

Figure 2 is a horizontal sectional view taken substantially on the line2-2 of Figure 3.

Figure 3 is a sectional view taken substantially on the line 33 ofFigure 2. w

Figure 4 is an elevational viewof the hanger.

Figure 5 is a sectional View taken substantially on the line 5-5 ofFigure 4. Referring to the drawings by reference numere als it will beseen that 5 indicates generally a hand pump and 6 the nozzle thereof.The nozzle 6 is provided with a horn or hook 1 in a conventional manner.

The water bowl is indicated generally by the reference numeral 8 and isprovided with an out-.

let neck extending from the bottom thereof and indicated by thereference numeral 9. The neck 9 is adapted to have coupled thereto as atH! one end of a hose or pipe II that is used for conveying the waterpumped into the bowl to a storage tank or the like.

or shield equipped ring l2 that fits within the bowl and is provided atits lower edge with an outstanding annular flange I 3 thatis adapted toengage the inturned flange l4 provided at the upper edge of the bowl.For a portion of its cir- The bowl 8 is also provided with a splashguard cumference the ring I2 is provided with anupstanding'guard orshield piece l5; The improved hanger is indicated by the referencenumeral l6 and comprises, in the preferred embodiment thereof, asubstantially U-shaped member I! the legs of which at their terminalsare provided with outstanding lugs or flanges l8. Adjacent the flangedends l8 said legs of the U- shaped member I! are. provided with openingsl9 through the medium of which and cotter pins or the like 2|] the legsof the member l1 are pivoted to the shield l5 adjacent the respectivefreeends of the shield. A

The U-shaped member IT has its closed end. curved and riveted, as at 2|or otherwise secured, to the curved closed end 22 of -a substantially U-shaped handle member 23.

The free ends of the U-shaped member 23 are apertured to receive a boltor rivet 24 that extends axially through a hand grip 25 and serves 7 tosecure the grip in position at the open end of the member 23.

From the above, it will be seen that the lugs or flanges 18 will serveto engage the flange [4 of the bowl 8 in a manner to limit the downwardmovement of the ring l2 relative to the bowl thus preventing the ringfrom dropping into the bottom of the bowl.

For suspending the bowl 8 from the nozzle or faucet f the pump 5, themember I! is placed in a position straddling the nozzle with the closedend of the member I! engaging behind the hook or horn I! as shown inFigure 1. With the hanger thus engaged with the ring !2 and the nozzlefi, said hanger will serve adequately for suspending the bowl 8 from'the nozzle 6 and" in a position to receive water discharging therefromincidental to the operation of the-pump 5. 7

It is thought that a clear understanding of the construction, utilityand advantages of an invention of the character described will be hadwithout a more detailed description thereof.

Having thus described the invention, what is claimed is:-

1. In combination with a water bowl having a r splash shield equippedring loosely fitting therein and interengaging flanges on the wall ofthe bowl and on the ring for limiting outward movement of the ringrelative to the bowl; a hanger member comprising a handle part having'asub dlingthe shieldpart of said ring and pivoted to said shield partadjacent the respective opposite .stantially U-shaped member securedthereto, said U-shaped member having the legs thereof strad'-. V

ends of said shield part, said legs of the U-shaped member at thepivoted ends thereof being also provided with outstanding stop flangesfor engaging the flange of the bowl to limit inward movement of the ringrelative to the bowl.

2. In combination with a ring adapted to be fitted within a water bowland characterized by a stop flange for engaging the flange of the waterbowl and an integral semicylindrical splash shield, a hanger membercomprising a substantially U-shaped part having the legs thereof pivotedto the splash shield adjacent the respective opposite ends of saidshield and stop lugs integral with the pivoted ends of the legs of saidU-shaped member.

3. In combination with a ring adapted to be fitted within a water bowland characterized by a stop flange for engaging the flange of the waterbowl and an integral semicylindrical splash shield, a hanger membercomprising a substantially U-shaped part having the legs thereof pivotedto the splash shield adjacent the respective opposite ends of saidshield and stop lugs integral with the pivoted ends of the legs of saidU-shaped member, said U-shaped member being adapted to straddle thefaucet of a pump with the closed end of the U-shaped member engaging thehorn of the pump faucet. V

4. In combination with a ring adapted to be fitted Within a water bowland characterized by a-stop flange for engaging the flange of the waterbowl and an integral .semicylindrical splash shield; a hanger membercomprisinga substantially U-shaped part having the legs thereof pivotedto the splash shield adjacent the respective opposite ends of saidshield and stop .lugs integral with the pivoted ends of the legs of saidU-shaped member, and a second U- shaped member secured at the closed endof the U to the closed end of the first named U, and a hand grip securedbetween the free end of the leg of the second U-shaped member.
